Published 6:17 pm, Friday, August 15, 2014

Low-fare Mexican carrier VivaAerobus is bringing back round-trip service between San Antonio and Monterrey, Mexico.

According to the San Antonio Airport System, nonstop service will begin Nov. 24, with an initial schedule of four flights to San Antonio and four flights from San Antonio per week. Tickets are on sale starting at $69 for a one-way flight.

VivaAerobus dropped its service to San Antonio in September 2013 because of problems processing U.S. credit cards and because it was in the process of bringing in a new aircraft fleet. But the airline promised to return.
